Human Carrier: Work in Progress 3

Texture done for now, wanted to keep it simple and pixilated, I'll probably come back and touch it up at a later date.


Next up I'll be working on an alien fighter.
As always, comments and crits are encouraged.

Human Carrier: Work in Progress 2

Small update, Carrier completely unwrapped, working on the texture now.

Human Carrier: Work in Progress 1

Working on a Human Carrier, trying to maintain the pointy aesthetic of the Dart between all human ships.


As you can see from the turnarounds, I still have to model the back bits, I have also included a dart for a size reference, the Carrier holds 8 Darts and can launch all at once via the 4 chutes on the underside of each side segment.

As always, click the pictures to embigafy, comments and crits are always welcome. I'll post another update once the back end is complete.

Dart: Wireframes and Color schemes

If you watch my Deviant Art account you might have seen this model before, I finished it up a few months ago and it will serve as one of the main playable ships in one of our upcoming shooters. I've been experimenting with several different color schemes and right now I'm tweaking the red and silver with blue hexagons. Be sure to let me know what you think.

Polys: 1,434
Verts: 1,601

CORE Games Media Net

Hey guys! It's been a while, sorry for not posting more updates on the Rotunda thing, the laptop I was using for that crapped out a while back and I lost pretty much everything related to it, not really a big loss but I may get back to it in the future.

ANYWAY, I wanted to formally announce the CORE Games Media Net, basically me and my buddies down here in Florida have come together to form a group based around making games, skits, comics, let's plays, and generally just having fun, for those of you are more interested in the games aspect, we have several projects in the planning stages, most of which I can't talk about just yet, but in the coming days I will start uploading art work related to the one I have the most personal interest in. It will hopefully update every night I've worked on something, showing you my progress for the day, rather then just showing the completed model like with what I was doing for the LA3D stuff.

If you are interested in CORE Games in general, we have a blog, YouTube account, and a daily updated comic set up. For those who aren't interested in any of that, I will continue to update this blog with information, renders, etc for projects I am personally working on.

Please be aware that we are going to be in the process of moving over the next few days, so if you don't see any updates it will be because we don't have internet set up in the new place yet.

Ciao for now,
Mith

Checking in and Rotunda part 1

Hey guys, long time no post. The shmup is currently underway but I'm waiting on concept/ref art at the moment, so I decided to whip up a quick map for Halo Custom Edition. Thought it would be fun to show you snapshots of it as I work.

To start off, here is a quick ms paint sketch of the level's layout


(Click for full size)

I actually sketched it out in a notebook first, but I don't have access to a scanner.

The map will have three floors, centered around a large pillar, the "bases" and flag spawns will be right next to each other on the second floor, but with a wall separating them forcing players to go around the long way.

Players have several paths they can take to get around the map:

They can jump down to the first floor which offers the shortest path between bases, but is effectively a kill zone offering no cover and plenty of places to be attacked from.

They can take the middle path, above and going around the edge of the first floor, this path is a longer route, but offers more cover and gives you a pretty good advantage over anyone on the first floor.

They can also take the outer path, a long curving hallway around the outside of the map. This is the longest route, but also the safest.

There are one way teleporters near both bases that lead to a small ledge on the third floor which holds a power weapon (Rocket Launcher on Slayer and Oddball, Sniper Rifle on Capture the Flag and King of the Hill)

This is a small sized map which should be great for 4 to 8 players.

I'll be back in a bit with the level blocked out and in game to test the layout.

3d Link's Awakening Level Data

So hey, arrived down here in Florida a week ago, just got my internet connection. To celebrate, have the LA3D level data! Overworld, Dungeons, Houses, and Caves all in .obj format, plus textures and music. Characters, Items, and Scenery will be posted later.

Been busy discussing potential projects with my friends down here, most likely going to be working on a Shump, with a Star Fox style arcade shooter on the back burner, I'll be posting progress on this projects as they develop just like LA3D, should be fun.

3d Link's Awakening Final Update

And that's it! The Egg is complete, and with it, this nearly 2 year long project!





I had a lot of fun working on this, and would like to thank everyone who has followed me on this project, and everyone who has helped me.

I wish I could keep this going and make a full game out of it, but I lack the programming skills required to do so. Instead I am going to release the Soundtrack composed by the wonderful Dan Vithyavuthi for this project, as well as all my 3d models, maybe someone will find use for them.

I'm going to be on a temporary hiatus for a bit, as I am happy to announce that in August I will be moving from Washington to Orlando Florida to start an indie game company with some of my friends. I will also be doing more non-game projects, such as game reviews, let's plays, and a series about what I have learned as a game tester, in my free time. The hope is to get more active, get my name out there, and get some indie games released.

Links Awakening 3D OST vol 1
Songs can be found on YouTube as well

Note: Volume 1 of the OST contains all the songs Dan made before he had to quit due increasing work load from college. When he has the time I will commission him to finish up the remaining tracks and release them as Volume 2.

Models will be uploaded after they are cleaned up.

See you on the other side!
